Admissions FAQs

The Study participates in the QAIS Common Admissions Test (CAT) with five other QAIS English schools. All Grade 7 applicants are asked to write this common exam. Applicants will also be invited to The Study for an interview, tour and a student visit day. Students must submit an application to The Study and register on-line for the CAT with Brisson Legris at www.registrationbl.qc.ca.

All students are to have English language skills and students applying for grade 10 & 11 must be fluent in English and French. Language support is offered for students in Grade 1 to Grade 9.

While the main entry years are Kindergarten and Grade 7, there are often openings at other grade levels and we are always looking for bright young candidates to fill these available places. We suggest that you contact the Admissions office at any time throughout the year to discuss the possibilities.

The Certificate of Eligibility for English Instruction is not required (K- Grade 11) as The Study does not receive government subsidies. Should you have any questions, please contact Admissions at admissions@thestudy.qc.ca.

Although academic assessment is required for entry at all grade levels, girls are not selected solely for their academic results. Their natural curiosity, work habits, dedication, attitude and talents beyond the classroom are all important as is their potential to contribute to school life.

Key intake years are Grade 7 and Kindergarten. Limited places are available for other grades. Applicants for other grades are encouraged to submit an inquiry to Ms Parker prior to completing a full application, admissions@thestudy.qc.ca or call 514-935-9352 x 252.

Both the student interview and the parent interview are opportunities for members of the Admissions team to casually get to know the applicant and the family. There is no need for any formal preparation.

The admissions process for Kindergarten to Grade 7, our key intake years, typically begins one year prior to the year of entry. See the Admissions page for completed application due dates for Kindergarten and Grade 7 and all other grades.
